So fun and wacky! Read this to kindergarten and 1st graders today for Dr. Seuss themed outreach and it went over great with the kids.

I tell you what, Octember sounds like a great month to have. I’m now waiting for it myself. You can get anything you wish for. It sounds like the greatest month there is - better than Christmas. The only problem is, this book told us all we can get and have on Octember 1st, but it didn’t tell us when it happens. I sure hope I don’t miss it.
Seriously, this is a fun story. Dr. Seuss didn’t illustrate it, but it still feels like a Dr. Seuss book and that story is fun. A boy and his amazing dog sell us the goods on Octember 1st and all you can get. If the nephew was younger, I know he would have bought this as well. He did say ‘wouldn’t it be great if there really were an Octember?” It would be the best I said. He gave this 5 stars and the niece gave it 3 stars.
I think this was my last Dr. Seuss book I haven’t read that’s for children. I’m pretty much done so I can re-read them, but there will be nothing new unless they release another magazine story that is basically unpublished. It has been a joy to read his whole catalog. He was such a talent with ups and downs, and he has charmed children for generations.

What is the wildest, craziest thing you've ever wanted? Money falling from the sky? A truck load filled with goodies? All the time in the world? Well if you just wait until the First of Octember you can have it!
A great rhyme filled book about all the silly things we wish for. Filled with great illustrations and imaginative inventions. If only there really was a First of Octember.
